Hi,
I’ve found that Ark (24.12.3) won’t open html/zip/png polyglot files (self-extracting archives) created by the browser extension SingleFile. Opening the files with a browser works as expected.
They have the file extension *.u.zip.html
and *.zip.html
, and file --mime-type FILE.u.zip.html
report it as image/png
.
$ unzip FILE.u.zip.html
works just fine, but Ark will throw an error: No suitable plugin found. Ark doesn't seem to support this file type.
By renaming the *.u.zip.html
to *.u.zip
, Ark will find no issues opening it as an archive.
My question is then:
Is there any way to make Ark see the *.u.zip.html
as an archive without renaming the file?
